Weird. I've only ever seen them the other way 
I got those for white elephant this year, gave em to the dog for a few minutes then into the trash.
Such a waste of materials, time and shipping just to waste space in a landfill.
Your loss, surprisingly comfortable.
I got this exact pair for my SIL two Christmases ago. She didn't like them at first, but they were such a hit at her Uni that she loves them now.
you win! those are spectacular
Salt fat acid heat cook book
A pullover type hoodie with a kangaroo pocket that's actually like a real kangaroo pocket. Only has a zipper at the top.
real kangaroo pocket
zipper at the top
I don't think real kangaroo pouches have a zipper. They lack an opposable digit to grab the zipper pull. Real kangaroos use snaps.
There was a test group a few years back for pockets with zippers...they were not well received, so they are preparing to make the switch to zippers in 2026.
We got a tiny hoodie for the car's gear shift lever.
That sounds greaat
Yeah but I got a gut so it's like adding things to the top of the pile, lol.
Still comfortable as hell though.
Kind of like an anorak? That would be a great design for a hoodie! I find hoodie pockets pretty useless for anything but your hands.
actually like a real kangaroo pocket.
OMG does it lead to your internal organs, to your womb? 😳
Pretty sure a kangaroo's pocket doesn't lead to their womb either. The kangaroo moves to the pouch after birth to finish developing.
Yes.
An emotional support pickle. I love it
What? Show us please
That's pretty crafty. I love it!
A bottle opener that captures and shoots the bottle caps out. Fun little gadget.
Not really goofy per say, but I found it hilarious that my girlfriend got me a boo of dad jokes as a joke present, but then my ex girlfriend (we have a kid together, we're on very good terms) also got me a separate dad joke book as a joke present as well.
They know me so well.
Oh no, you were double-booked!
I can never find a tape measure when my mom asks for measurements on something so she gave me a toilet plunger with one chained to it, a hammer with one chained to it, and one with a magnet in it that sticks on the fridge.
My 7 y/o got a yodeling pickle in white elephant Xmas. I can't wait for the batteries to run out. Lol.
A Samsung Galaxy S+ from 2011 in mint condition, with a new battery. I'm now installing the latest custom ROM that will run on it and make it my daily driver.
It seems the economy has hit my entire friend group to where spending money on a gift that is designed to be goofy didn't happen.
The goofiest gift was a candle with a snow globe on top. The snow globe had no liquid (seems it was made that way) and the candle was enormous and oddly scented.
Maple bacon scented candle. It smells alright…I’ve gotten bacon scented/flavored stuff in the past that was awful. Back in the day my sis in law got me bacon flavored marshmallows that made our entire apartment smell like ass. Had to throw them away.
My sister got me these Tiny hands.
Turns out my mom is very very freaked out by them so I had a great time.
As a joke gift my mother-in-law got me a cartoon sized Star Wars pen and a Star Wars activity book. I'm 41.
